Quotes from this Episode:

"Yeah, there are many reasons behind why I decided to set up Sciencious as a nonprofit. So initially, as a publishing platform, I didn't receive that many submissions to my website. So I was thinking maybe because this website doesn't have that much of a credibility to it."  [00:10:55]

"It just takes a lot of time through. It's really a lot of back and forth. But at the end, it's I think it's very, it's worth it. And it's something that I think we're very grateful for, to be able to to be registered as a non-profit "  [00:14:01]
